Aluminium was used in many industrial applications due to good properties such as ductile high corrosion resistant and high electrical conductivity. Since wear resistance of aluminium was very poor so that it was a limitation of using this material in several conditions. In this research aluminium was improved the wear resistance properties by using anodizing process and adding some titanium dioxide particles on the surface. The effect of anodizing process duration on the wear resistence property was studied. It was found that the process duration and amount of titanium dioxide play the important role on improvement of tribological properties of aluminium.

Silica is an amorphous and nanometer scale voids and porous form of silicon dioxide. As long known for its high specific surface area synthetic silica has been used to adsorb water readily and applied for keeping many biological products dry protecting equipment from moisture damage. In the study the researchers have interested in making the tentative eco-friendly dehumidifying products based on the silica extract from bamboo leaves. The extraction procedures were performed by boiling dry bamboo leaves with various concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 1 2 3 and 4 M then burning them at 650oC for 4 hr before analyzing the purity of the biosilica with the X-ray Fluorescence Method. The results showed that the highest purity of the biosilica sample at 96% could be obtained after treated with 4 M HCl comparing with the control commercial silica. By hygroscopic test the extracted biosilica with 2 M HCl showed the highest moisture absorption properties close to the commercial silica. While the highest adsorption capacity was found in the biosilica sample treated with 3 M HCl. The dehumidifying efficiencies of all HCl treated biosilica power were not much different comparing to the commercial silica gel. Instead of using synthetic silica therefore this high environmentally friendly and cheaper biosilica from bamboo leaves can preferably be decent and further applied in green industry.

The research was to develop environmental packaging from composite materials hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber for temperature preservation to replace the use of foam packaging that cannot be degraded naturally. In the composite materials water hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratios 7: 1: 2 1 : 1 : 2 and 1: 1: 1 were extruded by heat using isocyanate glue as a solder and testing the physical and biological properties of composite materials as fiberboard. For testing of temperature preservation of the bio packaging heat transfer test to obtain the bio-packaging for the environment the composite materials of fiber water hyacinth rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratio of 7 : 1 : 2 was the most appropriate type. Since it had a density of 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter strength of 26.76 MPa moisture content of 3.8 percent ages and swelling of 26.63 percent ages. In dry condition at room temperature it could store heat for 2 hours and could retain the cold temperature as shown for the temperatures rising from 4 to 30.7 degree Celsius within 2 hours. This research therefore presents a new alternative method of natural fiber composite materials application for temperature preservation in order to reduce the use of foam containers and increase cost value to natural bio waste materials.

Aluminum is a lightweight material which are popularly used in various parts of the industry. However there are some limitations on the tribological properties such as abrasive wear and friction when it was compared to other metals. Tribological properties of aluminium was improved with anodizing process and silicon dioxide supplement. the effect of time on surface structure and friction coefficient were studied with with scanning electron microscope and sliding wear tester. It was found that friction coefficient of aluminium was decreased after improvement process was applied.

At present most human-related products contain a mixture of chemicals for inhibiting microorganisms polluting the environments and harming the users. The purpose of this research was to develop a product using banana and papaya peel extracts as replacers for the chemicals inhibiting microorganisms in heel cream. By extracting raw bananas and papaya peels with coconut oil the studying the efficacy of inhibition on E. coli S. aureus Aspergillus sp. and S. cerevisiae with Disk Diffusion method at the protein concentration were performed as follows: 25 50 100 and 150 micrograms per milliliter. The observation of clear zone to observer clear zone of inhibition. and the Turbidity method using light absorption at a length of 600 nm was also were shown the corresponding results of microbial inhibition. observed and showed the consistent results. Especially the papaya extract having the protein concentration at least of 150 micrograms per milliliter could inhibit all 4 microbe species but could not inhibit S. cerevisiae that indicated a good trend of no harm on human. When mixing the extract in the heel cream it was found that Heel cream containing banana extract papaya and both mixtures displayed the density of 0.9674 0.9103 and 0.8057 gram per cubic meter respectively. They could be stored at room temperature for more than 45 days and still maintained the properties of microbial inhibition by up to 80 percentages. When studying the satisfaction of consumers collected randomly from teenagers to elders at both sexes of 40 people more than 80 percentages of the customers were satisfied with the heel cream from all extracts. These all creams could make the feet soft and moisturized within 1 week. More suggestions were to improve the smell of heel cream products to be suitable for all age of consumers. Therefore this research could be concluded that banana and papaya peel extracts inhibiting microorganisms could be used as a heel cream for further continuously developing at the industrial level.
